read OP's post.... :shakes head: It's for seasons not for wear.

OP, most people just get an extra set of rims. You can usually get a set for about $500

I had the same issue until I found some used (slightly bent) OEM rims for 500 bucks. I had them trued ($200) and now have summer rims and winter rims. I think thats a better option than swapping out your rubber every 6 mos.

just an option.

ps the BRZ is *very* different to drive from a Z. I recommend a few very aggressive test drives in both. (ie really open them both up on a freeway on ramp)

...Then go buy your Z ;)

Suppose a farmer with a rowboat is on one bank of a river with a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn. He wants to get the fox, goose, and the sack of corn to the other side of the river but can only carry one at a time in the rowboat.

How does he do it?

Z or FR-S?

Get the Z and a set of winter wheels for the winter tires. swap them at home. Problem solved. While the FR-S/BRZ is a nice looking car, they are slow and not as fun to drive.

I fit 4 tires in the Z :) it's tight but it fits two in the hatch and two on the passenger seat

If you don't mind gutting your interior. I'm not sure about touring package but with sport package setup the most you can do is 3 rims with tires. This is after gutting the interior, two rears (fat as hell) in the back and a front riding shotgun.

You can, however, fit 4 fr-s tires in the z because they come with prius tires and have the section width of a little girl's arm.

i replace my tires once a year... but i also put on about 25,000-30,000 miles a year :roflpuke2:

MagmaRed370z 04-29-2015 07:29 AM

nope, 4 tires wont fit. This is what I did:

1) Put tires on my wife's VAN
2) Drop off tires to tire shop.
3) Drive Z to Tire Shop and install.
4) Pick up tires on wife's Van.

Done.

kynseon 04-29-2015 09:04 AM

Or you can buy the Z. Do the trailer mod and put a trailer with all your tires.

Can always just buy the 370z extended package with rear seats
